November 2023 Gardening by the Moon Phase Source: mooncalendar.astro-seek.com
Please read this first:
Please keep in mind, that Gardening by Moon Phase and Gardening by Moon Zodiac Sign are two different/independent biodynamic systems and they might give you different or contradictiory gardening recommendations. Try to experiment also with these two zodiac systems to find which system suits you better.
1) Moon Phase x Moon Zodiac Sign:
a) Each Moon Phase (except Full Moon and New Moon) lasts about 1 week
b) Each Moon Zodiac Sign lasts about 2.5 days
2) Tropical (Astrological) x Sidereal (Astronomical) Zodiac:
(1-2 days difference in Leaf, Fruit, Root and Flower days)
There are two different zodiacs for determining the Moon Sign:
a) Tropical zodiac (Astrological) is based on the seasons – Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries (The 1st Fruit day)
b) Sidereal zodiac (Astronomical) takes into account Precession of Equinoxes and shifts 0° Aries back by cca 1-2 days. Maria Thun who was an authority on biodynamics was using this Sidereal zodiac
Moon Sign is calculated according to:
Moon Sign is calculated according to:
Tropical Zodiac (Vernal Equinox is fixed as 0° Aries)
Sidereal Zodiac (Includes Precession of Equinoxes. Used by Maria Thun)
